IMPROVEMENT iN CHURNS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same To all whom Iit may concern Be it known that we, .Lures U. RICHARDSON, of Prairie du Chien, county of Crawford, and LEMUEL TAYLOR, of J ordau, in the county of Green and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Chnrns; and we do hereby declare that the following `is a full, clear, Aand exact description thereof, referenee.being. had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters'of reference marked thereon, which form va part of this specification. i

lhe nature of ourv invention consist in thcconstruction and arrangement of' a churn having' an up-anddown of the dasheror plunger, as will be hereinafter set fort-h. y

In order to enable others skilled inthe art to which our invention appcrtains to make and use the same, we will now proceed to describe* its construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawings, in which Figure 1 is a vertical section of our churn, and

Figure 2 is'a plan View of' a cylinder placed in the center of the same.

A represents the churn, of the usual style known as 'i;ul1-cl1nins,1 being "narrower -at the top than at the bottom.

In the center of the bot-tom of the churn is placed an upright cylinder, B. le call this a cylinder, although it is not round, but hexagon or Apolygonal shaped, as seen in igtZ.

Every side of the cylinderB is provided with a slot, a, which runs longitudinally from near the lower-end to a suitable distance from the'top. The slot-s a a are not cut at right angles through the sides of the cylinder, but. are inclined; that is, on thefinside of the cylinder the openiii'gs are at the corners, while on the outside they run nearer the center of the side.

Each side is further at the lower end provided with a series of holes, oriv perforations,'b l), which are Aalso inclined iu a direction opposite to that of the slots a a.

Near tlie upper end 'each side has also a larger hole, d..

v Within the cylinder B is placed a polygonal-shaped plunger or dasher, C, provided with a staff or rod, D, which passesy up through the lidE of the churn.A

IIhe lid E has a '-countersink or recess, Gr, around the center, where the staff D passes, so that any cream that may splash up will be carried back into the churn. lhe cylinder B extends up close to the under side of the lid E.

lhe dasher being worked in the usual manner, up

and down, forces the cream through the slots and per forations in the cylinder, breaking the cream thor-,- onghly, and making the but-ter collect much sooner I and bet-ter.

IVe are aware that -t-he patent of Vm: Hamilton describes an internal cylinder, but it will be observed that his cylinder is permanently secured to the bottom of theA exterior case or churn; vnor are the 'openings in the internal cylinder so arranged as to eausecross dasher C, all constructed and .arranged to opera-te in the manner and for the purpose described.

In testimony that we claim the foregoing as our own, we aix our signatures inpreseuce of two witnesses. Y
